I am an estimator at a body shop and I have seen geico go all the way to 95% of the value without totaling. Then they want us to use cheap aftermarket parts and salvage stuff to piece the car back together. I really hate Geico and Progressive, they have no problem using cheap aftermarket crap and then its our fault when parts don't fit like OEM.
